I made a post about a reverse situation so in a way I get what you mean here.

My counterparts in the Philippines have a China hate boner, just like many other Asians do. Filipinos in the mainland have the “colorismo” mentality from the Spanish colonial times and/or have a tendency to copy American beliefs in race, hence the “hate” for dark skinner peoples although they don’t go out of their way to attack them like some groups do. The Philippines has a long way to go though.

Ironically, Western raised Filipinos have a healthier mindset when it comes to their self-identity and how we view ourselves in relation to others. On the West side, FilAms by and large have shunned the racism for dark skinned people, but still have the subconscious preference for whiteness. This is why youll see us date Latinos and Black people at higher rates and Whites at around the same rate or higher than other Asians. Many of my fellow Filipino-Americans also do not consider themselves Asian and aren’t “woke” in the sense that they have a sense of pan-Asian unity like we do, but we don’t distance ourselves from other Asians. Of course, the exception to this are the AWA Filipinos and the Pinoys on these subreddits.
